Steven Bradbury Interview
Steven Bradbury Interview
I recently had the chance to do a Q&A with Steven Bradbury, Australia's first Winter Olympic gold medalist in the unforgettable 1000m race in Salt Lake City.
Read the interview to find out about Steven's new career, how Apolo is a 'fussy little bugger', and who would win a short track version of Survivor!

Cleveland Plain Dealer - Ohno Zone
Ohno Zone in the press...
As promised, here is the link to The Plain Dealer's Sunday Magazine article. Many thanks to Noelle, Yuki, Will, Apolo, Judie and everyone else who helped push this project along since February. I figure that a but of publicity in June can't be bad for the sport, right?!?
Very special thanks to Kathleen Murphy Colan for wanting to do the story in the first place & for shepherding it through! All of the 'Zone thanks you! Thanks also to editor, Janet Fillmore.
From the print edition:
"When Apolo-mania first hit during the 2002 Olympics, 100 fan sites popped up. Very few remain. Todd's site has stood the test of time." - Yuki Ohno
To clarify, Kathleen (the writer) said we receive 1,300 hits a day. That's incorrect. We receive over 1,300 unique visitors daily. Our hits are much higher, registering over 21,000 daily. Oh, and sorry 'bout your last name, Noelle!
In any case, enjoy!
If you enjoyed the article, feel free to drop a note to the great people at the Sunday Magazine. They can be reached here:
